Renal calculi (kidney stones, nephrolithiasis, kidney calculi, renal stones)is a condition in which one or more stones are present in the pelvis or calyces of the kidney or in the ureter. The objectives of this study are to study the efficacy of homoeopathic medicine in the management of Renal Calculi and to study the Homoeopathic approach to avoid Surgery and recurrence of Stone formation. Thirty cases were selected through random sampling. The cases were studied keeping the individualistic by following the clinical case taking method. Most commonly age group 30-45 with 47%. About 5 remedies were efficacious in the treatment of renal calculi. Out of 30 cases 5 cases recovered, 23 improved and 2 cases did not improved. From this study it is evident that majority of cases of Renal calculi can be effectively relieved by homoeopathic constitutional treatment. Homoeopathy by addressing all aspect of the individual and their complete set of symptoms offers better treatment for patients suffering from Renal calculi. Homoeopathic remedies to begin with reduce the frequency of acute exacerbations, reduce the intensity of symptoms and reduce the relapse and chances of recurrence and their by remove stones. They reduce dependence over other and also surgery.

Background: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) exploded into a global pandemic, killing over 6.5 million people and forever changing the world. While many developed countries are well into their vaccination campaigns, India outperformed global expectations by providing over 2 billion doses to its citizens and assisting other countries worldwide. Following the emergence of various covid variants, it is critical to comprehend the willingness of Indians to receive additional doses of the newer generation of covid vaccination, as well as the fatigue associated with maintaining the most essential covid appropriate behaviour, masking. This study aimed to determine general public attitudes and perceptions of the COVID-19 vaccine in India. Method: A pan-India cross-sectional analysis was conducted at RUHS college of medical sciences, Jaipur, between October 20, 2022, and December 15, 2022. Through web-based links, a self-administered and semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Results: Of the total responses received (n=391), 55.6% were males, and 43.8% were females. 63.2% have received two doses of the vaccine, while 33.8% have received three doses. 50.9% of respondents were willing to take the fourth dose of the vaccine, 20.5% were utterly unwilling, and 28.6% were undecided. 10.7% of our respondents were utterly reluctant to wear masks, whereas 26.6% always did. Conclusions: Based on the findings, vaccination acceptance in India remains high with 50.9% of applicants willing to take the fourth dose. Furthermore, the pandemic has resulted in the incorporation of face masks into our lifestyles, with the majority of people using a face mask in at least one setting.

Medicine is rapidly adopting newer technologies such as Quick Response (QR) codes to effectively and efficiently manage, share and store information. QR codes can have a wide variety of applications in the healthcare, medical education and pharmaceutical industry. This article aims to explore the applications of Quick Response code in Medicine and other affiliated sectors. Through this survey we have tried to score the attitude and awareness of healthcare professionals towards the viability of QR codes. The study sample was of n = 142 respondents. Majority of respondents were aware about the utility of QR codes in day-today aspects and academics with Online transactions being the predominant usage. 84.5% respondents were aware of the technology involved in QR codes and 83.1% respondents had used the QR code in different scenarios. Despite the awareness only 21.1% respondents knew how to create a QR code. Overwhelming majority of 80.3% respondents replied that they would prefer access to educational material and recording of attendance through QR codes. According to the findings, awareness of technology and use of QR codes is not a significant factor in QR code acceptance in accessing study material and attendance. But we have a significant p-value (p value = 0.017) when acceptance of QR codes in medical education was significant among healthcare professionals who were exposed to QR codes in the Department of Pharmacology. Our findings further suggest that most healthcare professionals have convenient access to the technology essential to generate QR codes, and yet, about 21.1% of healthcare professionals are unaware of the technique for QR code generation. Based on this finding, we conclude that knowledge of QR codes and use of QR codes outside of the medical setup doesn't affect the acceptability of QR codes in healthcare professionals, but when they're exposed to QR codes in the medical setup, there is a significant correlation in acceptance of QR codes for study materials and attendance. From our results, we can conclude that most healthcare workers and medical students approve of more integration of QR codes in medical workflow and agree with the convenience and ease of use and easier access to information.

Background: Skin diseases are chronic in nature and they require lifetime treatment. Prescription pattern reflects health professional attitude towards the disease and role of drugs in its treatment. The study of prescription pattern is important to make medical care rational and monitoring adverse drug reactions. Methods: An observational and prospective study was carried out in Skin and VD department along with department of pharmacology, RUHS college of medical sciences, Jaipur. Data collection was done in three months after ethical approval. Data was entered and analysed with latest Microsoft Excel version. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the results. Results: During the study period, a total of 979 prescriptions were included and analysed, out of which the usage of dermatological drugs was maximum among males (n=520, 53.11%). Total 2848 drugs were prescribed in 6 different dosage forms. The most common dosage form prescribed was tablet (1267, 44.49%) followed by cream (685, 24.05%). Total 1632 (57.30%) drugs were prescribed through oral route and 1216 (42.70%) drugs were prescribed through topical route. the present study depicted that dermatophytosis (n=243, 24.82%) was one of the most common dermatological manifestations. antihistaminic (673, 23.63%) were the most commonly prescribed drug. Conclusions: The study of drug use is an effective tool to promote rational drug prescribing. Such type of study will help in formulation of proper antibiotics, drugs policy, prescription of cost-effective drugs, improvement in the patient compliance and reduction in undesirable effect of drugs.
